Patient Safety / Simulation and Ergonomics

Thanks again to all those people who have commented and helped my blogs to evolve. The conversations around human bias, its predictability and also a tangent looking at bias in AI were fascinating. This week I want to move back to a simulation focus - really so I can get to the stage of linking the themes together. I am going to focus on the benefits and challenges of working with Simulated Persons and what that can bring to simulation based learning events. If you work in clinical practice you are constantly gathering information from around you and this includes those subtle assessments of our patients. If you are walking over to a patient you are are looking at how they are laying in bed, how they move and breathing pattern.We do a lot of this information gathering sub consciously often only aware of it in more acute cases.
